Truro and the County of Colchester work together to maximize the benefits of business, sports, culture, and health care, as is evident from recent and on-going state-of-the-arts community projects.

One of these is the Rath Eastlink Civic Centre, with a grand opening in September 2013.

Another is the 124-bed Health Centre Project which opened in November 2012.

In late 2013, after three years of planning and construction, the Cougar Dome, a tennis and multisports facility, opened to the public, giving free access to every student within the Chignecto Central Regional School Board district.

The Marigold Cultural Centre, located in the heart of Truro, draws top quality performers to our region and is home to a sports museum and art gallery. The Truro & Colchester Chamber of Commerce, also located in the Marigold Cultural Centre, is an excellent networking and planning resource for local businesses.

Colchester Regional Development Agency, working with the Town of Truro and the County of Colchester, plays a major role in developing local business and industry, shaping a family community, and building the lives we dream of.
